Livingston defender Curtis Jones has left the club before making a single first-team appearance.

The defender has agreed to the termination of his contract by mutual consent.

A statement on the club’s website has sited personal reasons as the catalyst to the move.

Speaking on the club’s website, assistant manager Mark Burchill said: “Curtis has left us for personal reasons and although we are disappointed to be losing a member of the squad at this stage, allowing him to leave is the right thing to do.”

He added: “Curtis is a good lad who worked hard in his time with us and he moves on with our best wishes for the future.”

He had signed for Livingston during the summer, penning his deal on the same day as Moussa Mampaya.

But the promising 20-year-old defender (below) failed to make a single first-team appearance, due to injuries.

He made one pre-season appearance.

Jones had been with Bristol City before signing for Livingston in the summer.
